FTP server installation

[Magnus_15]

How do I install a FTP-server on my Mandrake 9.1 ??

you will need an rpm with the ftp-server software and install it (see man rpm).(search on Google or just with Mandrake or Red Hat)

Start the ftp-server with the startupscripts

I dont think it is hard to install. There are many FTP Servers available and you can use either WU-FTP or PROFTP as a ftp server.

The installation will be very simple. Just refer to readme files after downloading the source file (.tar.gz)

You should find an ftp server or two on the mandrake cd's

wu-ftpd is popular, secureable

vsftpd scales nicely, redhat uses it.

Proftpd is considered strong and secure.

You get the software, install it then enable it:

vi /etc/xinetd.d/wu-ftpd

change disable=yes to disable=no

service xinetd restart

service command might not be available in Mandrake, the inetd or xinetd daemon must be restarted.
